Lillybet's Papers

You can find the full crew here Hi and welcome from  Krissy's blog  . This week we are all about CASEing the Ronald McDonald Charity set on the inside of the back cover.  Stamping' Up donates $3 to Ronald McDonald charities from each set purchased. Demonstrators also donate cards to the charity for residents to use. It's nice to know you can give back. I don't own the set, and I have never taken too much notice of the cards in that section but when I looked again I was presently surprised! Gotta love a catalogue that keeps on giving! I have made 2 sets of little 3x3 notecards inspired by their little card. How cute is that toothpick! In fact finding some was a tough job around here, luckily there were some in the picnic basket! So taking my lead from their card I looked through my sets to find a shape in some of the sets I already own that has a sentiment in the shape and is small enough. I found a few and settled on the bright and happy star from C...

These didn't last long- made them on Thursday, sold them on Saturday! Easy stamping onto the gorgeous background paper. The timber words were coated with versa mark and heat embossed with the last of my Pewter Embossing Powder! I"m pretty sure these are to be used as graduation cards - a nice piece of wisdom to young adults leaving high school. Let me know if I can  provide you with any cards for special occasions, Liz

I am loving the Umbrella stamps and framelits, and you all know I love the emboss resist paper. I just added the blue sponging in a graduated depth to get an ombre effect. The Irresistibly Floral DSP  has these groovy spots and a striped page as well as the floral pages. So fun! Flirty Flamingo Night of Navy Cucumber Crush And who says umbrella's have to be pointing up? The little bow comes from the Mini treat thinlits set, and I gave the "friend "text a little more definition by drawing over it with the fine tip glue pen. When it dries it is glossy and raised and looks really nice. thanks for looking,  Liz

Welcome back to this weeks Sunday night CASEing the CATTY bloghop. This week we are looking at Love & Sympathy cards and projects on pages 44-55. I have chosen the cute card on page 54 using the super sweet Weather Together Bundle. Today we did the baby wipe technique in class so I made this card using Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise, Pool Party and Pacific Point inks. The variegation in the colours is a really nice effect and works well with stamps of a medium size.  Although it works best with solid image stamps I was really pleased with this line image version. To create a solid patch of colour to stamp the sentiment stamp I simply used one of the larger stamps from Timeless Texture stamped repeatedly to cover a small area. I really love the script in this set and the "Thanks" had gone unnoticed until today but I love it I used a scrap of the retired Kraft and Silver DSP  which already has the raindrops on it  - see if you can spot my mistake...

Welcome ro the Sunday  night  CASEing the Catty  blog hop. This week we are taking inspiration from the Chapter on Thanks , pages 38-43 in the Catalogue. You may have come from jackie  or you may be starting here. We hope you find something to inspire you in these projects. There are so many ways to say thankyou, but I don't think we send cards nearly as often as we should. I feel I have so much to be grateful for so I love to send Thankyou notes. However, for this week I took inspiration from the fabulous packet on page 43, and I used this a model for  my Welcome Package at my Catalogue Launch Party today. I had a lot of fun playing with the fabulous new set Falling Flowers. It has some really great images in it and I have had a bit of a play with it this week. (You can see some other samples with them Here  and here )  There are matching framelits too which make life really easy but for these I just did some random collage st...
